BEWARE OF ASBESTOS DUST
•
Take care not to inhale dust produced in the work site. Inha-
lation of asbestos fibers may be the cause of lung cancer.
• Depending on the wok site conditions, the risk of inhaling
asbestos fiber may exist. Spray water to prevent asbestos
from becoming airborne. Do not use compressed air.
• When operating the machine in a work site where asbes-
tos might be present, be sure to operate the machine
from the upwind side and wear a mask rated to prevent
the inhalation of asbestos.
• Keep bystanders out of the work site during operation.
• Asbestos might be present in imitation parts. Use only
genuine Hitachi Parts.
PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS
•
Battery gas can explode.
• Keep sparks, lighted matches, and flame away from the
top of battery.
• Never check battery charge by placing a metal object
across the posts. Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
• Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm the
battery to 16˚C ( 60˚ F ) first.
• Do not continue to use or charge the battery when elec-
trolyte level is lower than specified. Explosion of the bat-
tery may result.
• Loose terminals may produce sparks. Securely tighten all
terminals.
•
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. If the battery should ex-
plode, battery electrolyte may be splashed into eyes, pos-
sibly resulting in blindness.
• Be sure to wear eye protection when checking electrolyte
specific gravity.
